Chapter 172: Retreat
Time flies, time flies, and in the blink of an eye, three months have passed!
On this day, a group of people stood outside the room of Liuyun Peak Ling Zhan.
There was a faint sadness on everyone's face, as if something was bothering them. Especially the first one, his face was even more gloomy, and his two brows were furrowed, almost all of them were going together.
This person is Wu Xin, the head of Liuyun Peak!
Wu Xin was standing in front of Ling Zhan's door, constantly walking back and forth, every few steps, he had to turn his head to look at Ling Zhan's door, and then the expectant look in his eyes turned to disappointment, and at the same time, the sadness on his face became more and more heavy.
The group of people standing behind Wu Xin showed the same expression as Wu Xin on their faces, but compared to Wu Xin, although their expressions were melancholy, they were far less intense than Wu Xin.
These people are all Liuyun Peak's subordinates, standing behind Wu Xin, standing in a row with a belt, it is estimated that there are at least dozens of people! I'm afraid even Ling Zhan himself doesn't know that his Liuyun Peak actually has so many subordinates. Thinking about it, big and small things are handled by Wu Xin on weekdays, and he can't see others, so he naturally doesn't know the number of people in his peak.
At this time, a subordinate in a soap robe came to Wu Xin, who was obviously a little irritable, and said in a low voice: "Manager Wu, today should be the last day!
Hearing this, Wu Xin's body, who was originally walking anxiously, slammed suddenly, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes, and then his eyes became extremely firm, and he said with a straight face: "If Gongzi doesn't come out after midnight today, then we will break in directly! No matter what, we must also know Gongzi's situation!"
Wu Xin said these words after a very fierce ideological struggle! You must know that this is not a child's play, half a month ago, Ling Zhan excitedly told Wu Xin that he wanted to retreat, and it was still a retreat, and the time was at least half a month!
Hearing Ling Zhan's words, Wu Xin was dumbfounded!
If it's a retreat, then there is absolutely no problem, as a martial artist, if you encounter a bottleneck, it's normal to retreat!
Now the problem comes, the dead end is not something that ordinary people can endure!
Because in the process of retreat, one will not eat, sleep, or even drink water! It can be said that one's potential is squeezed to the limit. People who are in retreat hope that they can achieve such a state, so as to force themselves, to make a breakthrough, to have an epiphany. But you must know that the vast majority of warriors need to eat, sleep, and drink. In this respect, they are no different from ordinary people! They just last longer than ordinary people who have gone on a hunger strike.
If you don't eat or drink for a long time, even if you are a warrior, there is only one result, and that is death!
Unless the cultivation reaches the level of Martial Venerable, only when the cultivation reaches that level can the cultivation of a body be able to achieve a perfect balance with the outside world! When it reaches the realm of Martial Venerable, the demand for food and drink from the outside world will gradually decrease, and finally the goal of Bigu will be achieved! But even then, it is a gradual process!
But now, Ling Zhan actually announced that he was going to retreat, and once he retreated, it would take half a month!
In Wu Xin's view, this is simply unrealistic!
You know, Ling Zhan is just a martial artist now, and a martial artist wants to close to the death, isn't this a joke?
Not to mention Ling Zhan, a martial artist, even himself, a martial king, don't dare to close the door casually!
For a martial artist, the retreat is the last path, the path that is really no way out, and the last choice will be made! It can be said that this road is full of dangers, and every step is extremely dangerous! It can be said that every step is terrifying.
In particular, the longer the time is delayed, the greater the danger! In the end, it can be said that one step has already stepped into the ghost gate! If you are not careful, you will die!
In Wu Xin's opinion, Ling Zhan was the kind of genius with a bright future, and he couldn't figure out why Ling Zhan chose such an extreme cultivation method as Death Pass!
You know, this is dancing on the tip of a knife! With Ling Zhan's identity and talent, there is no need to push himself to such a limit?
Wu Xin really couldn't figure out why Ling Zhan did this!
For the sake of Ling Zhan's safety, Wu Xin once tried hard to dissuade Ling Zhan, but he was just one of Ling Zhan's subordinates, and what he said had no weight at all for Ling Zhan's choice!
In the end, Wu Xin didn't resist Ling Zhan! The day after he announced that he was going to close the retreat, Ling Zhan went into retreat, and he also asked Wu Xin to find a few people to help him guard the door, and never let anyone disturb him.
Wu Xin could only do so, of course, although Wu Xin was a little worried about Ling Zhan's actions, but he was not too worried about Ling Zhan's safety! He thought that as long as Ling Zhan felt that he could not hold on, he would naturally walk out of the room by himself. After all, he is only a martial artist now, and he has not yet reached the level of Cheng Dù who needs to close the death pass, and presumably he will not disregard his life for the sake of the death pass.
But as time passed, Wu Xin's heart became more and more nervous day by day, which made him not only make mistakes in his work on weekdays, but also his temper became more and more irritable! You must know that although the general manager of Wu is not approachable on weekdays, he is also a very gentle person, whether he speaks or does things, he will give people a feeling of spring breeze, so Wu Xin is still a very good manager in the eyes of these subordinates! But who knows why, Wu Xin seems to have changed as if he has changed a person these days, his face is gloomy all day long, and his temper is becoming more and more irritable, and he will be angry because of some trivial things.
Several days passed in the blink of an eye, but Ling Zhan still hadn't come out of his room! At this moment, Wu Xin really wanted to ignore it, and rushed directly to Ling Zhan's forehead room to see if he had anything to do!
You must know that it has been twelve days now, but Ling Zhan still has no sign of waking up, which makes Wu Xin very worried, for fear that something will happen to Ling Zhan! But he had promised Ling Zhan before Ling Zhan closed the death pass, even if it was a big matter, don't bother him!
It's not half a month now, and Wu Xin doesn't dare to make decisions without permission and break into Ling Zhan's retreat room!
Until there was still a day before the half-month deadline, Wu Xin really couldn't hide it! After all, as the master of Liuyun Peak, Ling Zhan didn't appear for half a month in a row, it was really undeserved!
And when Wu Xin said Ling Zhan's thoughts, everyone's faces changed! Although they were the descendants of Liuyun Peak, they were also disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Sect, so they naturally understood what it meant to be closed to death!
That's a shocking gamble of life and death!
At this time, they finally understood why Wu Xin's temper had become so irritable these days, as if everyone had an enmity with him.
And at this time, all the subordinates of Liuyun Peak showed a sad expression on their faces.
However, their relationship with Ling Zhan is not very close, and the reason why they show that kind of melancholy expression is that they are worried about their future! You must know that in Liuyun Peak, they don't have a lot of work on weekdays, and the treatment is very good, compared to other peaks, it is much stronger! The most important thing is that since that superb spar vein moved into Liuyun Peak, the entire Liuyun Peak has been filled with a rich aura, and it is not an exaggeration to say that this is a holy land for cultivation!
In the entire Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Sect, except for a very few places, the aura concentration of Ling Zhan's Liuyun Peak was high, so cultivating here was simply a paradise for those of them who were subordinates! The environment here is even countless times stronger than those inner disciples, and since the owner of Liuyun Peak is Ling Zhan, especially after he participated in the battle with Zhang Pinghua, Ling Zhan's status in the eyes of the disciples of the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Sect can be said to have risen in a straight line, and the status of these descendants from Liuyun Peak with them has also changed to a higher level, even those inner disciples will also look up when they see themselves, this feeling makes them enjoy it very much!
Of course, these subordinates also know who brought this qiē to them, it is Ling Zhan!
If it weren't for Ling Zhan, how could they enjoy such a comfortable environment. Every time they heard that an inner disciple had an accident while doing a task, they would feel extremely happy in their hearts! They knew very well that if they hadn't entered Liuyun Peak, it was very likely that there would be their own names on the list of those inner disciples who died unexpectedly!
For this, they are grateful to Ling Zhan!
But now Ling Zhan actually chose to retreat to the death, and once he retreated, it was half a month! This made the subordinates of Liuyun Peak feel that the sky was about to fall.
In their opinion, Ling Zhan didn't get out of the customs for more than ten days, so it was very likely that he was more than lucky!
If something happened to Ling Zhan, the consequences would be unimaginable! Especially for these subordinates, they didn't know what would happen next.
The most important thing is that Ling Zhan is the true disciple of the Ten Thousand Beasts Heavenly Sect, and he is also the personal disciple of Mishan Wuzun, if Ling Zhan really has any accidents, will Mishan Wuzun be angry with him?
With the strength of Mishan Wuzun, if you want to kill yourself, it is almost like strangling an ant. And the crowd didn't even have the ability to resist, which made them feel a kind of panic.
For a moment, an anxious feeling flowed among the crowd.
And a few more days have been spent under this anxious feeling, but Ling Zhan has not been out of the customs, and the hope in everyone's hearts has become dim little by little, and everyone's face is full of melancholy.
And on the last day of the half-month period, these subordinates simply didn't even do their work, and came directly to Ling Zhan's gate, waiting for him to come out.
